I wanted to have this perfect letter written out to you – this concoction of love and inspiration and truth all mixed into one – words you would treasure for a lifetime. Yet, looking into your beautiful eyes and knowing your lovely hearts on this very first day of being teenagers, I’m at a loss. […]

Today was our first day of school for the year. We’ve got first, second, fourth, sixth, and seventh grades going on at out home. And I’m barely able to believe the words in the previous sentence are true. I find it this incredibly beautiful mixture of happy-sad. Oh, I am so grateful for a God […]

What words could I express to my daughter on her eighth birthday? Oh, sweet Love, there are no words to truly convey all that I long for you to know. But with happy tears streaming down (because how is it possible that it’s been eight years already!?) I humbly scratch out a smidgen of my […]

Half a dozen years ago we held this beauty for the first time. Who knew that our love could multiply so much that day after celebrating the years of marriage & love & time & faithfulness!? But just after the sun shone brightly that June morning our precious Ariya Faith was born. And this sweet […]

It’s been fifteen years with this man I love, and he just keeps stealing my heart. Oh, I love him and our life together – the everyday, ordinary, digging in the dirt together moments, & the wonder of watching our children getting older and us getting older too. I love you, Gabe – your heart, […]

*Make sure that the Interlinear Tab(the blue one farthest to the left) is selected.

*Under the verse, you will see the complete verse written out in Greek. Under that you’ll see the (English) verse written out in a column; then there’s a column telling the Strong’s number that goes along with word(s) in that row; then you’ll see the original Greek word (in Greek and in manuscript), and lastly you’ll see a little speaker button where you can listen to the pronunciation of the Greek root word.

*Click on the hyperlinked Strong’s number next to the word you’d like to look up. (It will look something like this: G5547.)

*Now, you can read all about the word.

A lot of the information is the same. What I like best about BlueLetterBible.org is that it doesn’t matter which translation I’m on, I can hear the pronunciation of the Greek word, and it’s easy to click on the entry to the Vine’s Expository Dictionary that has VERY helpful definitions.

I also like that if you scroll down you can see the concordance with complete verses throughout the Bible that contain that same word. (And they’re written in the translation of your choice.)

{{If you’re loving BibleHub.com, don’t worry I love that too! What I like best about BibleHub.com is the ability to see a short definition quickly, I think it’s a little bit easier on the eyes, there is SO much other helpful information and Bible Study tools right in one spot, and I really, really, really like the HELPS Word-studies when they have them. – If you’ve seen them – you know what I’m talking about. :) – To see a tutorial on BibleHub.com from earlier in 1 Peter go here.}}

Now you have another way to soak up the goodness and truth and life found in these words.

Let’s grow in His sweet grace once again!

Hello Jessica,
I am still with you. I haven’t did much commenting we just came back from a 5 day camping trip with our youth group. I have enjoyed 1 Peter and some of it has pierced me. Thank you for all the tools you have shared with us as we go through this study.

Verse 7 really spoke to me. I love how it says to be watchful unto prayer. I really struggle with prayer. I’m not sure why because I have seen so many answered in my life and in the lives of others, but I know that in the times when I least feel like praying I need to more than ever. It is something I need to work on. Being watchful unto prayer DAILY.
